How It Affects Teens and Adults
For adults, dual diagnosis can affect relationships, career stability, and overall mental health. For teens, it can impact school, friendships, and family dynamics during a critical time of development. Addressing both challenges together is essential for long-term success.
How I Can Help
With specialized training and experience from UCLA's Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program, I provide integrated care tailored to your needs. Whether you're an adult navigating the complexities of recovery or a teen exploring emotional regulation and healthy coping strategies, I'm here to guide you toward balance and growth.
What is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a mental health condition (like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder) and substance use challenges. These issues often interact, making it harder to manage one without addressing the other.
The Path to Healing
The Path to Healing
Life is rarely simple, and for those facing both mental health challenges and substance use issues, the path to healing can feel overwhelming. Dual diagnosis acknowledges that these struggles often go hand in hand, and treating one without addressing the other can leave you feeling stuck.
With a compassionate and integrated approach, dual diagnosis treatment helps you understand the connection between your emotions and behaviors, offering tools to address both mental health and substance use challenges simultaneously. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, dual diagnosis treatment provides a foundation for meaningful, lasting change.
Healing is possible. By addressing both sides of the equation, you can create a life of clarity, balance, and strength.
